About the restaurant

Crafted out of sheer Westside flair and a nineteen year trajectory, Thyme Restaurant is a concept reimagined by a couple of couples with an affinity for food, wine and our beautiful Upper Westside neighborhood.

Thank you for helping us preserve this gem in our beloved neighborhood.

Full disclosure, I’m not a big fan of “fine dining”, and this was fine dining. The flavors were a little too robust for me. The service was excellent, though. And the house-made bread with orange-truffle butter was quite interesting. We had the half-chicken and the salmon. Chicken was okay, and the salmon was a little overdone.

About the restaurant

Translation of amar in English:
amar (ah-mahr)
Verb
1. To love
We think the word AMAR is the most beautiful word in the Spanish dictionary, whose root "amma" (AMOR) is born from the first sound syllable that a child expresses to a mother. It is a reminder of the purest feeling of humanity.
AMAR refers back to the creator’s creative energy, the most subtle vibration that has formed everything, AMOR.
Perú &
México
Our Menu Is Completely Based
on pure love for comida
The idea of creating a Peruvian + Mexican kitchen happened because the cultures merged in our family sparked a combination of flavors, techniques and dishes in our gatherings.
After 10 years admiring and learning from Peruvian cuisine we decided to follow this dream and share with our community what we cook in casita.

Listen the service was great except our poor waiter, Miguel was overwhelmed by the amount of tables and customers assigned to him. Don’t get me wrong, he did his best but it was evident that he could have used some help as we did have to wait for water and other items that never showed up. I’m not blaming him. He did great but it was obvious to us and other tables that the wait time was unusually long to just get water. I think it’s a staffing issue.
